In both domestic and foreign settings, the use of English is crucial for efficient communication. It should be used as a teaching tool at colleges and universities, while also utilised in every school. All current educational institutions must offer ESL (English as a Second Language) classes as one of the core subjects, and should not be avoided by the students. Despite the complexity of its usage, language is a necessary means of communication and essential for human interaction. Technology development has made it possible for individuals worldwide to connect with one another using standard languages like English. Therefore, it is important to instil the necessity to learn English, and early exposure to it should be given as early as possible to the children. This project involved translating, proofreading, and editing an existing module into a bilingual version to assist in adding vocabulary to 5 to 12 years old children. It employed a qualitative research method that required us to go to the school itself to collect data in the form of observing and interviewing the students in Smart Tahfiz & Transit Abqorie. Apart from that, we also use sources from Google Scholar and ResearchGate. The finding reveals that students in that school show genuine interest in learning the English language but make no attempt to use it in their daily conversation as they are unconfident and shy. In contrast, some are indifferent to learning the language. The conclusion focuses on the importance of early exposure to English as a Second Language to children in order to avoid causing problems related to speaking and understanding English in the future.
